U46MK2 + Traktor/3DEX + Headphone problem

[QDJ]

Hi all,

I strugglin with the following problem: I want to connect the headphone to the soundcard and want to monitor/prelisten another track. On the headphone I hear the master out and can prelisten/monitor the track.
I want to only listen to the new track without hearing the master out.

Setup: Kontrol-DJ MIDI controller - usb - PC, u46mk2 - usb - PC. headphone connected to front of u46mk2.
On PC traktor3 / 3DEX.
Another person has a vci-100 with the same setup as above.

Someone any idea how to solve this?.... i can't imagine i'm the only one with this request.
Thanks you all

Hi, I think you need a Mixer in your configuration to monitor your mix. The U46 is not a stand alone monitoring device for what i know => you can't use the headphone output to monitor a separate output .

Not sure what your alternatives are, unless buying a first price mixer on ebay.

This is the inside of the U46MK2. It's easy to understand the limits of the phones...

Hi all,

found a solution. Was quite simple actually.
U46MK2 -> USB PC; Speakers connected to 5&6; Headphone to phonejack front U46.
Software Traktor: Output master programmed to 5&6 and monitor (prelisten) to port 1&2.
Settings done in Traktor, Preferences, Audio setup, Output routing.

Enclosed picture of the solution.

The same can be done of course with Mixvibes... without any problem today.
It is an answer, sorry to have been too radikal in my previous post.

thanks uncle. So the same type of set up would work with MV ?
QDJ have you tried to do the same set up with MV yet ?
